Filing your 2024-25 FAFSA
The U.S. Department of Education has made many changes and simplifications to the FAFSA this year. Because of this, the application will open later than usual—be prepared to take action after the soft launch on December 31, 2023. The form will be available periodically as they address issues, so check back frequently if you have any trouble.
- Though the application is delayed for the 2024-25 academic year, it will open on the traditional October 1 date in the future
- FAFSA的最后期限不会改变——确保你在6月30日之前提交, 2025 deadline for entry in the 2024-25 academic year
- The updated form will be easier to complete and includes several changes to how aid is calculated

What's Changed for the 2024-25 FAFSA® Form? (2:35)
Learn more from the U.S. Federal Student Aid office.
The U.S. Department of Education has made many changes and simplifications to the FAFSA this year. Here are some of the main updates:
- The form was simplified, reducing the number of questions you'll have to answer
- 学生，他们的配偶，和所有的父母/监护人的税务数据报告必须有 their own FSA ID/StudentAid.gov account
- Access was expanded for Federal Pell Grants
- Larger Income Protection Allowances (IPA) 是否会导致学生或家庭收入能够支付大学学费的期望降低
- Families are now required to report the value of their farms or businesses, which will impact how federal aid is calculated
- There is no longer a benefit for siblings in college- FAFSA在确定援助金额时将不再考虑家庭中上大学的人数
The first step is to make sure everyone has their own StudentAid.gov account/FSA ID. The student and all contributors will need their own accounts, 因此，提前设置这些将简化你填写FAFSA的能力.
- If you didn't submit a 2023-24 FAFSA form, make sure to create your StudentAid.gov account. 记住您的用户名和密码，以便在2024-25年FAFSA打开时填写!
- 了解你的父母/监护人或配偶是否需要根据你的情况提供供款人 dependency status.
- 如果您的父母/监护人或配偶需要向您的表格提供资料，请确保每个提供资料的人 creates their own StudentAid.gov account.
如果学生是受抚养人，并且他们的父母/监护人共同纳税, only one parent is required as a contributor and needs an FSA ID. If the student's parents/guardians did not file taxes jointly, both are considered contributors and must have their own FSA IDs.
You'll fill out the 2024-25 FAFSA using tax information from 2022.
The FAFSA usually operates with the previous year's tax information. Even though the FAFSA is opening later than usual this year, make sure you use your 2022 tax information.
Due to this year's changes, the U.S. 教育部表示，从FAFSA向大学传递信息将会延迟.
我们预计在4月份发布传统本科学生的奖励通知. 在我们的集体项目的学生需要注册之前，经济援助奖将被发送.
虽然FAFSA看起来很吓人，但它并不像你想象的那么可怕! 基于我的高中成绩，我获得了一笔惊人的学术奖学金, a music scholarship, and a work-study job on campus my first year here.
